Following the riotous celebrations accompanying the Chelsea victory
yesterday, which gave them their first League Championship in fifty years, I saw
several new Chelsea flags being waved by the crowds. They were (a) a 'Canadian
pale' in blue-white-blue, with the club crest in the center of the white stripe;
and (b) a similar pale except that the blue portion is actually checkered blue
and white - very striking. Ron Lahav, 1 May 2005

The photos were published in the Público
newspaper (Portugal) of 23 May, showing the party of Chelsea's supporters, with
checkered tribands and the central panel charged with
the logo of Chelsea and the inscriptions "CHELSEA" above and "PREMIERSHIP /
CHAMPIONS" below. Each of the white(?) squares is charged with a
circular charge, probably also the symbol of the club.
There's also a plain triband, with the same charges in the central panel,
although relatively smaller.
I'd bet strongly that the colours of these flags are blue and white.Jorge Candeias, 23 June 2005
